Reply to Re: HTML Email Forms help
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
: I know this may be off topic but it has some relavence in Dink. I need to know how to make some questions of the online form required for example your email address and/or your name.
: This week I got two submissions from Dink directory which failed to put the profile about yourself and left it blank. My goal is to make that question a required question. If anyone can help me please do.
: Thank you for your cooperation.

well, the way i would do it, is via a server side CGI script. (I'll make one for free, if you need it, but your server must support python CGI's. BTW, there is a list if free webservers who are python aware, and allow you to use CGI's).
Basically, yher CGI script is run every time the form is filled out. It gets the variables from the form, decodes them, and then sends them to an email address, or maybe stores the results online...
The other way is to simply say action="mailto:your_email@addr.com"
However, te emails will arrivein decoded format, with hex charecters for all the whitespace and special chars. You could make a script to decode these charecters, if you wish...
